I'd rather be playing the piano

On Monday Hannah began her physical therapy in earnest. After dressing and cleaning up Hannah moved to her wheel chair for the first time! Its so good to see her moving again. Alex, her main physical therapist is a happy upbeat guy that Hannah got along with right from the beginning.

Hannah wheeled herself down the hallway. She has been exercising her bargaining abilities by bargaining with her physical therapist about how much longer before she can go back to bed.

On Tuesday, she took five steps using the parallel bars! I spent the day at the hospital with Hannah and after her physical therapy when she was finally ready to get back in bed, I mentioned that there was a keyboard in the dining room and that we might be able to wheel her down there and let her play. She perked right up and was willing to head down there before going to bed.

She sat at the keyboard and with shaking hands and a few laughs she played Jon Schmidts All of Me. It always was Hannah's special song and now that "all of her" is in jured it has new meaning! After a few minutes at the keyboard, just long enough to prove that she still has her piano playing prowess, she was ready for bed.

After a long nap, we shaved her legs, washed her hair and played a game of cards until visitors showed up. Its sure good to have Hannah back, a little beat up, broken, and bruised but still the same old Han.

Hannah has a bumper sticker on her car that says " I'd rather be playing the piano" Seemed appropriate to go along side this photo of her playing "All of Me"
